This is a survey of recent progress in several areas of combinatorial algebra. We consider combinatorial problems about free groups, polynomial algebras, free associative and Lie algebras. Our main idea is to study automorphisms and, more…
Given a grading $\Gamma: A=\oplus_{g\in G}A_g$ on a nonassociative algebra $A$ by an abelian group $G$, we have two subgroups of the group of automorphisms of $A$: the automorphisms that stabilize each homogeneous component $A_g$ (as a…
The representation ring of an affine algebraic group scheme can be endowed with the structure of a (special) $\lambda$-ring. We show that the same is true for the ring of symmetric representations, i.e. for the Grothendieck-Witt ring of the…
We describe the structure of the algebraic group of automorphisms of all simple finite dimensional Lie superalgebras. Using this and \'etale cohomology considerations, we list all different isomorphism classes of the corresponding twisted…
Last years a number of papers were devoted to describing automorphisms of semigroups of endomorphisms of free finitely generated universal algebras of some varieties: groups, semigroups, associative commutative algebras, inverse semigroups,…
A generalization of down-up algebras was introduced by Cassidy and Shelton (J. Algebra 279 (2004), no. 1), the so-called generalized down-up algebras. We describe the automorphism group of conformal Noetherian generalized down-up algebras…
We give a construction that takes a simple linear algebraic group $G$ over a field and produces a commutative, unital, and simple non-associative algebra $A$ over that field. Two attractions of this construction are that (1) when $G$ has…
We consider actions of non-compact simple Lie groups preserving an analytic rigid geometric structure of algebraic type on a compact manifold. The structure is not assumed to be unimodular, so an invariant measure may not exist. Ergodic…
For a geometrically rational surface X over an arbitrary field of characteristic different from 2 and 3 that contains all roots of 1, we show that either X is birational to a product of a projective line and a conic, or the group of…
We study topological group theoretic properties of algebraic groups over local fields. In particular, we find conditions under which such groups have closed images under arbitrary continuous homomorphisms into arbitrary topological groups.
We introduce the concept of a double automorphism of an A-graded Lie algebra L. Roughly, this is an automorphism of L which also induces an automorphism of the group A. It is clear that the set of all double automorphisms of L forms a…
We prove that the group of automorphisms of the category of free modules over Noterian rings is semi-inner and present also a short proof of a similar result for the variery of Lie algebras.
We study the automorphism groups of finite-dimensional cyclic Leibniz algebras. In this connection, we consider the relationships between groups, modules over associative rings and Leibniz algebras.
For each of the 14 classes of edge-transitive maps described by Graver and Watkins, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a group to be the automorphism group of a map, or of an orientable map without boundary, in that class.…
For any abstract subfactor planar algebra $P$, there exists a finite index extremal subfactor $M_0 \subset M_1$ with $P$ as its standard invariant. In this paper, we classify the automorphism group of a bipartite graph planar algebra, and…
We define a class of algebras describing links of binary isolating formulas on a set of realizations for a family of 1-types of a complete theory. We prove that a set of labels for binary isolating formulas on a set of realizations for a…
A simple observation, showing that every groupoid becomes an inverse semigroup after adding one element. In such inverse semigroups all idempotents are mutually orthogonal. This fact implies that every C*-algebra of a discrete groupoid is a…
We show that any adjoint absolutely simple linear algebraic group over a field of characteristic zero is the automorphism group of some projector on a central simple algebra. Projective homogeneous varieties can be described in these terms;…
Automorphisms of order $2$ are studied in order to understand generalized symmetric spaces. The groups of type $E_6$ we consider here can be realized as both the group of linear maps that leave a certain determinant invariant, and also as…
The equivariant cohomology of a space with a group action is not only a ring but also an algebra over the cohomology ring of the classifying space of the acting group. We prove that toric manifolds (i.e. compact smooth toric varieties) are…
